The rapid developments in networking and resource integration domains have resulted in the emergence of distributed computing models such as Web Services, P2P, Grid and Cloud computing for solving very complex problems. However, biology has developed effective solutions to hard engineering challenges through millions of years of evolution. Several algorithms and techniques widely used in Computer Science have been adapted from, or inspired by, known biological phenomena. Computer scientists applying biomimetics can learn by observing nature and adopting biological approaches in the aforementioned distributed computing models.

The focus of BioAdcom2010 is on identifying the role that bio-inspired computing can play in the progress of computing and communications systems, in highlighting productive areas of research and in pinpointing precise application areas. Manuscripts unfolding mathematical models, algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of advanced computing and communications techniques that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this workshop. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers internationally.

All accepted papers will be published by Springer.

The specific topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Paper Formatting: Papers must be formatted with the Springer LNICST format (Page limits: Up to 12 pages). Please obtain LNICST-specific formatting instructions as well as paper templates from Springer's LNICST FTP directory - ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/lnicst/ . Only PDF files will be accepted and reviewed.

Paper Uploading: All papers will be handled electronically. Papers must be uploaded to the CMT: Microsoft Academic Conference Management Service at Track - https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BIOADCOM2010/ . If you don't have a CMT account yet, the above link allows you to create it.
